Frequently Asked Questions

Is tipping mandatory in some countries?

In most countries tipping is optional or customary, not mandatory. However, in the US, Canada, and some other countries, not tipping in restaurants for good service is considered rude. In Japan, tipping can be seen as insulting.

How do I calculate the tip amount?

Enter your bill total and select a percentage (e.g., 18%) to instantly calculate the tip amount and your total including tip, with easy options to split between multiple people.

Are service charges the same as tips?

No. A service charge (often added automatically to the bill) goes to the establishment and may or may not be shared with staff. A tip you leave directly is additional and goes to the server.
